My BP does come down some with supplements. Can you post your numbers?

Good luck to you and please keep us posted on your progress!

I am sorry to hear about your medical issues and wish you good health. 6 years ago, at 64 I was diagnosed with hypogonadism. I also have BPH. Other than that I have no underlying medical issues. Aside from elevated TT, FT and E2, the rest of my labs are good. My PCP who I see every 3 months...

I don't know that I have any CRP issues. It is not something that my PCP checks. As for crashing my E2; I have not taken an AI yet. I have been on mono TC for over 4 years and have not had any issues until lately. My raging libido that I enjoyed during the 4 years went off a cliff 10 weeks...

I don't understand the point you are trying to make?

You are correct that it isn't a big difference. Imagine my surprise when I expected it to be lower and not higher. Everything that I had read was that my Sensitive E2 should be lower than my Standard E2 because of the C-RP issue. That's why I did the Sensitive E2 test.

Thanks for your input. As for my 3rd question, do you have any input on that?

After reading your post I am really confused now. If the sensitive test result is prone to technician errors then how can it ever be trusted? If it can't be trusted then why bother with it? A guy could end up making adjustments based on a botched test result. That would really suck! I've read...

It seems that there is a lot of emphasis on T/E2 ratio. Why do you suppose that labs like Quest, LabCorp, etc. don't report E2 results as a T/E2 ratio if that is what is more important than just the E2 results? And, why do you suppose they don't adjust the "range" to take into consideration...

I had both the standard E2 and the Sensitive E2 lab tests done on the same day to use for comparison. My Sensitive E2 test was 4 points higher (58 pg/mL (range: < or = 29 pg/mL)) than the Standard E2 test (54 pg/mL (range: < or = 39 pg/mL)). I had expected the Sensitive E2 results to be lower...

Thank you for the update and please keep us posted going forward.

My wife currently uses 5mg of testosterone cream 5 days in a row and then takes 2 days off (25mg/wk). The absorption rate of testosterone cream is about 10%. So, she is getting about 2.5mg of testosterone weekly if my math is correct. Her last labs show that her Total T was 302 ng/dL (range...

Apparently that is not the case for my wife. Just like men, all women are different. I know that when were tweaking her protocol that too much testosterone tended to make her moody. The same was also true when it wasn't enough. I think women have to be dialed in just like men.

My wife's (she is post-menopausal) labs show that some of the testosterone is aromatized into estradiol. She is unable to use a supplementation of estrogen or estradiol because she suffers from migraine headaches and the PCP says that an estrogen/estradiol supplementation would exacerbate her...

Thank you.

When the HPTA shuts down due to mono TRT does the pituitary shut down entirely? Or does only the part that controls LH and FSH shut down?

The cream progesterone and cream testosterone combination that she gets from the compounding pharmacy works well for my wife. It took awhile to get the dose dialed in but after that... let the good times roll. She also takes a PDE-5 inhibitor an hour prior to sex and it works well for her.

Bio-identical Progesterone is also commonly available at compounding pharmacies. That's where my wife gets hers.

I have not experienced any issues either. I would suggest monitoring your blood pressure when you first start taking these together to make sure that you do not experience a severe drop in blood pressure.

I agree that test cream on the labia has been my wife's best experience since absorption is much better. I would caution anyone using a Progesterone supplement to make sure that it is bio-identical and not equine progesterone. Animal progesterone and bio-identical progesterone are not the...

My wife is 69 years old (post-menopausal). She has been on Testosterone and Progesterone cream for over 4 years. She uses Testosterone cream 5 days a week with two days off. She uses progesterone on the 1st day of the month through the 25th day of the month. The past 4 years she has had a...

Being 70 years old and dealing with BPH I cannot say that the stack has improved my urinary issues at all. Take a look at bulksupplements.com for your L-Citrulline powder. That's where I get my bulk supplements and I have been happy with their products for the most part . I would give them a 7...

Do men need progesterone? https://drcgolding.co.za/do-men-need-progesterone/

For what its worth: I listen to a Doctor who has a weekly radio show, he treats the normal but undesired effects of aging. He says that progesterone is good for the prostate and may help keep it from becoming enlarged. He says that in order to do that a person would need to maintain a...

Is this stuff any good for tendonitis? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BDMTGS98/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=AFQSGTJDBM2DW&psc=1

How many of the patients that you saw in ICU had underlying comorbidities? My cousin died last month from Covid?? She had been sick for a long time and was on death's door when she entered hospice care. A few days after being there she contracted Covid even though she was fully vaxxed and...

That was my experience with Flomax.

I had terrible side effects from Flomax. 5mg daily of Tadalafil and 4mg Terazosin daily was the ticket that worked best for me. And, the side effects of Tadalafil was an added bonus. I've also heard that Terazosin, when taken for a long period of time will help to shrink the prostate. Another...

I use Terazosin.

Good job!
